Ministry; BA Religion)
Philosophy
The Department of Theology and Religious Studies believes that God is
the Creator and sustainer of the universe. In love, He sent Jesus Christ
to atone for the sins of humanity. The same God has commissioned us
to advance His work by pointing fallen human beings to the great sacrifice
at Calvary in preparation for the return of our Lord and Saviour,
Jesus Christ.
Vision
Spurred by the approach of the climax of history, the Second Advent
of Christ, we will physically, mentally, spiritually and socially strive for
excellence.

and efficiency in teaching, preaching, leadership and personal competence
